"Horeb" is used following- the 'de-
eignation "the .mountain of God."
In this and subsequent lessons we
shall assume that Mount Sinai is
somewhere near the southern point
of the peninsula between the Gulf
of Akabah, and not fay from the
northern end of the „Red Sea itself.
It has been suggested by some Mod-
ern scholars that the mountain, the
exact location of which has never
been determined, should rather be
sought farther' to the northeast in
the hill country of Seir, north of
the Gulf of .Akabah. The burden
of proof, 'however, lies with those
who question the traditional site,
-which still has the support of many
of the best 014 Testament schol-
ars.

his people by such commands as

presence of the people near this
same mountain: "And thou shalt
set bounds unto the people round

bited in earlier years.
13.What is thy name 7 -The
Egyptians used the word "god"
generically, having a special name
for each particular ,deity, such as
Ammon, Ra, Mentu, Osiris. With
this feet Moses, was certainly ac-
quainted, andhe seems to antici-

GAMBLING IN ENGLAND.
• - -
Atahorities- Gravely Concerned, to
Stop Betting Evil.
• The spread of .gambling among
the English people, both men and
women, is causing serious and
growing eo.neern. No measures yet
have been devised to stop the ha-
bit, which rapidly is beemning more
and more of it menace. On all big
racea practically everybody, from
the newsboy on the street to the
peer in his motor, has eomething
SO his favorite horse, and even on
the everyday_ race an immense
amount in the aggregate is weger-
ed. Latterly it has been dieclosed
that women working in offices end

men and boys. Nowadays both
men and women, during the alter -
noon hours, ase &greeted from
their work by their anxiety over the
results of the races and employers

• The House of Commore, with a
view of eurbing this increase in the
betting habit, passed it law prohibi-
ting commission' agents from ac-

IDEAL OF THE MORAL
Its Very Esserlee Is Love, Which
• tive Force In All the
"Behold; these three years I come
seeking fruit' on this fig tree, and
find none. Cut it down; why -cloth
it ' cumber the • groundV-Luke
Here is the conclusion of one of
the most significant of the parables
of Jesus, Aecordieg lo the story,
" a certain man had a fig tree
planted in his vineyard," and year
after year ''he came seeking fruit
thereon... Each year,- however, he
had the same disappointing ,exper-
ience of finding none, and at last,
disgusted with the tree, he ordered
his vine dressers to "cut it down."
"Why," he 'asked, "cloth it cumber
the ground1''
Now, it is to be noticed that there
is nothing said in this parable
about the fig tree not being a per-
fectly good tree. It was not pois:
onous or noxious, It wasmot with-
ered, or gnarled, or undersized.
Indeed, if we are to'brusb the story,
it was so excellent a, specimen, so
far as its attributes as a, tree were
concerned, that each year its own-
er expected to see its branches lad-
en with figs. There was nothing at
'all that was actually bad about the
tree. The trouble was that there
was nothing that was
•' Positively -Good.-
It failed in its on.e specific .rniision
of bringing forth fruit. Its room
was more valuable than its pres-
ence.
Now, here do we have a striking
illustration of one of the most orig-
inal characteristics, of the teaching
of Jesus -namely, its emphasis up -
LIFE
IS the Most Posi-
World
on the positive character of good -
nets. All too frequently is good-
ness interpreted in purely negative
terms, as the act of avoiding cer-
tain things which the world has
agreed to regard as evil. The good ,
.man is the man who does not steal,
lie, kill, commit adultery, covet,
and so on through all the melan-
choly catalogue of "Thou shalt
nets." To avoid these sins, we
have be,en told, it to attain to the
ideal of the moral life. Hence is
the world crowded with men and
women who regard themeelvee as
wholly good simply because they
have never done anything that wee:
bed. Like the rich young mau,
they can boast that they have kept.,
all the commandtnents from their
youth up, and therefore they think
themselves
Entitled to Eternal Life.
Not so, however, if we are to
trust the teaehing of the Nazarene
'Jesus' standard is positive, and
not negative at all. To Elio mind
it is not enough that a man should
Ifierete keep the commandments di-
rected against moral offences of
one kind and another. Beyond the
"Thu shalt eet" in the greater
commandment, "Thou shalt."
Goodness, therefore, is a posi-
tive thing. In telling the gory of
the vineyard Jesus was only illus- •
trating His, familiar statement in
the Sermon on the Mount, -"Every
good tree bringeth forth good. fruit
. . . Every tree that beareth not
good fruit ifi hewn down and cast
into the fire." -Rev, John Haynes
Holmes.

LEARN TO TRINE.
Most of Us Are Asleep as twit Largo
Part of Our Ability.
A fault with most of us is that
• we never learn to think. Thousands
of men, lacking a goocr education,
practically throw anvae precieus
hours because they never learn to
think. Systematic thinking is the
best possible discipline. Happy is
the youth that has formed the fixed
habit of self-improvements thee is
always trying to make .himself -4
little better prepared for his op-
portunity when it eomes. Tell me
how a young man uses his little
ragged edges of time after his day's
work is done, and what, he is re-
volving in his mind at every oppor.-
tainity, and I will tell you what that
young man's future will be, says a
writer.
Thousands of persoro have, in
their spare moments, through sys-
=tematic courses ef reading and
.study furnished by some of our
splendid correspondence schools
obtained a 'better education than
have many that have gone through
College.
The trouble with young people is
not that they do not possess success
qualities, but thee in most of them
the qualities are latent, inactive.
There is now and then a ina,n that
'gets thoroughly aroused. We de-
velop only a small percentage of
.darselves-just enough to solve the
bread and better question.
